Question: The strut has a square cross section a by a and is subjected to the bending moment M applied at an angle θ as shown.
The strut has a square cross section a by a and is subjected to the bending moment M applied at an angle θ as shown. Determine the maximum bending stress in terms of a, M, and θ. What angle θ will give the largest bending stress in the strut? Specify the orientation of the neutral axis for this case.
